It’d be interesting to get some technical detail on how they are tokenizing.

(changing the method used to create anonymity daily would provide more privacy, but also lessen the functional use to the network. - e.g. can’t check journey history.)

Precisely. There is a serious conflict between privacy and mission creep. Which do you think will win?

I am unclear on whether typical WiFi clients can be persuaded not to send probes.
